nick, just my

, you seem all hung up on this creme/zebra color scheme... seems kinda

to me to sacrifice tone for looks. i personally love ceramic magnet dimarzios, but if your accustomed to duncans, you probably won't be 100% happy with them.

ohio_eric · 03-06-2007, 01:39 AM

I'd stick with the Bare Knuckle Miracle Man you were thinking about. Color scheme be damned.

Leon · 03-06-2007, 01:43 AM

can you get what you want in creme, and just paint one side black?

Clydefrog · 03-06-2007, 03:37 AM

Or some bobbin toppers:

Have 'em on the 7621 I'm sending out tomorrow in a trade. They look great.

Avoid the TZ7 in mahogany at all costs, it's probably the worst 7 string pickup I've ever used. It was thin and harsh, but worst of all it made me sound like I was playing thorugh a shitty £50 practice amp all the time. My votes would be an Evo7, PAF7 or DS7 if you're going with Dimarzio, or go the Duncan route with bobbin toppers.

You know you're right Ed, I am too hung up on the whole "color" thing.
fuck it . (I gotta stop being such a fucking pussy sometimes

)

these are the 4 I'm thinking about
dimarzio D sonic 7
BK Miracle man
Lungren M7
Duncan SH5
Opinions out of these 4 which is the ballsiest pick up that will sound good
for lead and rhythm. (I 'm primarily more of a lead player)
this is what I got last night with the stock p/u's out of my B-52 thru my Marshall cab
(real real real quick clip) sorry it's so dark I've never tried to record video off
of my digital camera before (I didn't even know I could until last night

)

D Sonic 7, John Petrucci plays lead and it sounds sick. If you like active tone go for the Lundgren M7.

kmanick · 03-06-2007, 09:07 AM

don't like active tone so (I wasn't crazy about the 707's in my hellraiser)
strike the Lungren then

I have a radical idea. The door swings both ways, we could reverse the particle flow through the gate. We'll cross the streams.
